Those Among the Sick Who Desire to Employ
DIR. billings. Take Notice.


Hard work and the not far distant summer
weather causes me to consider the advisable
ity of taking a rest from work. | have there
fore decided to discontinue my practice on
the 18th of July for at least six weeks, per-
haps somewhat longer. In my exhaustive
work of giving SO many magnetic treatments
rests are absolutely a necessity. To this end
] shall accept no new patients for long course
of treatment after the 18th of May, this that
those becoming patients before or by that
time can receive the most thorough personal
attention. There are many, however, with
less serious and complicated diseases who can
be received Immediately or soon after May
18th and be given sufficient personal attention
before July 18th. All such will be accepted
if they apply in time. As a rule, however,
the sick generally who contemplate receiving
my treatment will do well to apply as soon
as possible, remembering that the 18th of
May is the date set for lessening rather than
increasing the number of my patients, and
that two months later, or the 18th of July,
the date upon which l wish to discontinue
my work for awhile. F. Clement billings,

tween the tracks. This will utterly preclude
the possibility OF departing passengers
stepping from one track to the other in front
Of an approaching train. and thus trimming the
risk of accident.
IMPROVED ARRANGEMENTS FOB DEPARTING
PASSENGERS.
1t is to the increasing and perfecting of ar~
rangements for the expeditions and careful
handling of departing passengers that the
energy OF the railroad officials has been chiefly
directed. and the arrangements as now made
cannot fail to give satisfaction to all. The
discomfort heretofore arising from Inadequate
facilities for loading passengers has Leen fully
remedied by the erection of eleven additional
enclosures and entrance gates, making sixteen
in all. Last year there were bnt five. Moreover
certain enclosure has been assigned to pas
sengers for certain destination, and t,ais
waiting place is to be used by passengers for
those points and by no others. By this sys~.
tenn the danger OF any erowding at the gates
is almost entirely obviated, as each separate
enclosure is amply sufficient to comfortably
hold all desiring to reach certain point.
The entrance gate to each enclosure is
numbered and plainly marked with a sign
board indicating tbs destination and time OF
departure of the tram to which entrance is
gained through the enclosure. All the en-
closures or waiting places are provided with
seats and shelter in case of storm, and also
with an ABUNDANT supply of ice water,
Admttance to East bound trains will be
through the entrance gates numbered l TO 8
inclusive; opening from the main exhibition
grounds. During the afternoon, while the
majority of the visitors are returning, admit
lance to West bound trains will be through
the entrance gates numbered from II to 10
inclusive, situated on the opposite side of the
traih enclosure, away from the grove These
latter gates are reached by passage way
under the railroad tracks. at each end of the
train enclosure During the forenoon and
after night the enclosures last above desigua-
ted will not be used, but admittance to West
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1887-08-27

bound trains announced to leave before IL
o'clock noe n and at 8 p. m. will be at gates
numbered from ! to s inclusive, adjoining the
exhibition grounds. The number OF the en-
trance gate tor each train is given in connec>
ton with the time of departure OF the trains
tributed on the grounds. The situation will
be better understood by reference to the plan
or diagram which shows the enclosures, the
passenger station and part of the exhibition
grounds.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The main grounds, buildings and auditorium
will be lighted with the new electric light
plant lately procured by the railroad COM
pany. This plant has capacity of 25 lamps
each of 1000 candle power, sufficient to make
the Grove almost as light as day in all parts.
When lighted up at night with the full plant
in operation the Grove presents scene of
most marvellous and brilliant beauty, which
cannot fail to be source OF great pleasure
and interest to those who remain on the
grounds for the trains leaving at 9 .. M, or
over night. A new building has been erected
for this light on the south eastern side of the
Grove near the spring The room will be
open each night and visitors to it will be well
come. The attendants will explain the oper-
atoms of the electric machinery, and VISIT
to the building will be both entertaining and
instructive The electric light plant hereto
tore in use by the company will be placed
along the passenger tracks and freight sid
ings. Both plants will be run at their full
capacity during the week.
BOARDING TENTS AND RESTAURANTS.
There are number of large boarding tents
and restaurants upon the grounds which will
afford ample accommodations for all perma-
nent and transient visitors. In addition to
these large number Of tents have been cree.
ted TO pfUvide sleeping quarters. Good board
can be obtained on the grounds at cost
not exceeding one dollar per day, and all arr
rangements for supplying the wants Of the
inner man and affording comfortable sleeping
accommodations are as complete as possible.
